Perimenopause does not arrive with a siren.
It starts as a whisper.
A little brain fog.
Sleep that suddenly is not restorative.
Mood shifts you cannot explain.
Then the hormone shifts ripple outward, affecting your brain, heart, metabolism, joints, skin, and mental health, until one day you say the sentence I hear every single day in clinic:
“I don’t feel like myself.”
This is not early menopause.
It is not aging.
And it is not something you just push through.
Perimenopause is a 7 to 10 year biological transition that rewires nearly every system in your body, and for decades, women were never taught what was happening or why.
That is why I wrote The New Perimenopause.
Not as an extension of menopause care, but as its own essential guide. Because if you understand what is happening before your periods stop, you can protect your brain, bones, metabolism, mental health, and sense of self instead of chasing symptoms later.
You deserve answers before chaos.
You deserve preparation, not dismissal.
📘 The New Perimenopause is available for preorder now.

This book is for the years no one warned you about and the life you still get to build.

Did you know that ...Your Ovaries Hold a Story?

Fact ....Your Eggs Begin Their Journey 6–9 Months Before Ovulation

Most people think egg health is fixed at birth…
but your future egg actually begins its development half a year before ovulation.

From the moment a primordial follicle is recruited, right through its 90–120 days of final maturation, your egg is constantly responding to:

💛 inflammation
💛 omega balance
💛 gut microbiome
💛 stress hormones
💛 blood sugar
💛 sleep rhythm
💛 micronutrient status

This is why true preconception care is a mimium of 9 - 12 month inside-out journey — not a last-minute supplement or quick fix.

Inside-out change isn’t a trend.
It is physiology.
And it is powerful for future fertility, pregnancy, and generational wellbeing.

This is why true preconception care is inside-out care... and why nourishing cellular health now shapes fertility, pregnancy, and the long-term wellbeing of future generations.

If you're planning ahead or preparing for pregnancy, you’re always welcome to reach out for guidance or personalised preconception support. 💛
